I have realized that my attitudes have consequences.
That there are answers to my words and actions.
That what I give to others comes back to me.
That my habits are reflected throughout my neighborhood.
And it’s not just about me.
All of us here decide together how to live
It´s up to me to spread understanding throughout the neighborhood
when my neighbor asks me:
“Hey, please, turn the stereo volume down, grandpa is sleeping.”
It´s up to me to spread peace on the soccer field,
when there is a jerk starting to get angry,
and Chino and Chamba, without the ball, start hitting each other,
and I tell them, “The game is over, there is no reason to fight.”
I choose, I choose to live in peace.
Let’s make a difference by respecting others.
Your tranquility is my responsibility.

It´s up to me to sow friendship in my life,
if I hear a rumor, I prefer not to say anything.
If I am respectful, you respect my privacy.
We respect women, “Up with Equality!”
for my friends, my sisters and my mom.
When I see the girl that I like walk by...
I stop myself and think before I start to hit on her.
I choose, I choose to live in peace.
